--- Comment #5 from Gabriel Wicke <[email protected]> --- Just a clarification for those that have not been following the discussions in the last year or so: * We plan to store fully expanded snapshots of HTML for each revision. This makes HTML retrieval fast, but also lets us provide a view of the page as it looked like in the past including all transclusion/extension/file dependencies. There are some storage volume trade-offs (which can likely be addressed with compression), but if we decide to store a snapshot on each re-render after a template/file change, we can provide a copy of each page at any point in the past. Retrieving 'yesterday's Main Page' becomes possible. So far that has only been possible with the flagged revision extension at considerable expense. * Other data structures that change with transclusion/extension/file updates will be snapshotted similarly. This applies to dynamic page properties for example. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Wikibugs-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikibugs-l
